I see a couple "deals" so I thought I'd post, not small cameras though (size and use, personal preference, some don't mind bigger, especially for "ok" cameras). They seem to be clearancing these out in some stores, I see some finding deals in Walmart, Best Buy, etc. that may be cheaper, but good luck finding them in stock cheap. If you have a store around, I'd check there for these (or any other camera). Also, Best Buy sometimes has open box, I guess satisfaction guaranteed and factory warranty. Not near a store, haven't looked how that works in store.
And if you don't want to mess with changeable lenses, or spend that much, for what you describe, $100-$200 range should get you a good Canon or Nikon that would work well enough.
I highly recommend my a5100, the a6000 is the higher model with more features, takes the same quality pictures and has a viewfinder, but is more expensive (about $200 more for a similar kit when I got mine). It is a mirrorless like MarkB mentioned, and VERY highly rated. Fits in the palm of a hand with the base kit lense. I don't use a viewfinder much, don't miss it, most pictures, when I had one with a viewfinder, I didn't have the camera near my face anyway. I can see mine well enough in bright sunlight. I paid a little over $400 for mine with two lenses, case, refurbished and looked exactly like new, had a low shutter count, not used much. Higher priced now....
Specs on paper don't matter much. Basically why I didn't put out spec numbers. High megapixels don't matter much, less on the low end cameras, doesn't work too well to shove a high number into a small sensor. Camera with a big sensor like mine, then it's ~ok. I'd just pick a price, look at real world pictures from matching cameras, and start from that.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
